Insurance

ALL contractors and space only stand holders MUST hold valid Public & Products Liability Insurance, which covers them and indemnifies for all activity involving stand construction, operation, and deconstruction, at the event and in the country to which this information pertains. The liability is a compulsory minimum of £5 million GBP or the equivalent in another currency. If you are in doubt as to what your cover is, please contact your underwriter or broker for clarification. Please note we do not require your Employers Liability Insurance.

All contractors and exhibitors are required to provide the following information:

  • Compulsory Space Only Form
  • CDM Project Safety File, which must contain, but is not limited to:
    • Full technical stand plans, incorporating all dimensions, elevations and weight loadings. Please note that all height dimensions MUST include the floor platform.
    • Stand visuals where possible.
    • Non generic risk assessment.
    • Non generic method statement.
    • Copy of your Public Liability Insurance, in date for the full time period of the event.
    • Your Companies’ Health & Safety Policy Document and Statement.
    • Any other relevant information regarding any aspect of the design/construction phases.

Please send all the requested documentation directly to Ministry Protective at mitch@ministryprotective.com before the deadline for review.

Ministry Protective, our Health and Safety Consultants for the event, are available to help, and whilst stringent venue and H&S regulations and legislation must be followed, we will do our best to assist with any queries you may have.

All documents should be sent electronically. We no longer accept Fax or postal submissions.

The build for space only stands will commence at the time stated in the ‘Onsite Information’ section. Contractors should satisfy themselves that the positioning of the stand area is correct and, if necessary, conduct a site visit well in advance of the event. Any queries should be referred to the organisers as soon as possible before commencing construction.

Times are subject to change – please ensure any timings given as directed by Fortem International are adhered to.

Exhibitors and contractors’ attention are drawn to the tenancy build up and break down times, which are NOT flexible. All parties are required to ensure that all stands, regardless of design, can be completed within those times. You should therefore ensure that enough crew are allocated to the construction and dismantling, so as not to compromise safety, or the European Working Time Directive.
